What Is Changing

On a TTM 2026Q1 basis, CTB is declining across multiple metrics versus the same period, suggesting current pressure is not coming from just one side. What remains unclear is whether the business can stabilize before this trend deepens.

Financial Highlights

Detailed analysis of each financial dimension

ROE = Profit Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

2025Q1 18.3% = 7.9% × 1.16 × 1.99
2026Q1 12.3% = 7.1% × 0.80 × 2.17

ROE fell from 18.3% to 12.3% — asset turnover weakened the most, though leverage still provided support.

Net margin: 7.1% -0.8pp Asset turnover: 0.80x -0.37x Leverage: 2.17x +0.18x

Is the profit sustainable?

Margins narrowed but earnings quality remains clean — pressure is mainly operational.

very positive positive stable watch under pressure

What is driving the margin?

Net margin narrowed to 7.12%, falling 0.8pp. The main pressure comes from Gross margin fell 2.0pp and SG&A / Revenue rose 0.4pp (in addition, Other profit / Revenue rose 2.0pp added support while Net financial result / Revenue fell 0.1pp remained a drag).

Margin is under pressure from multiple sides — temporary and structural components need to be separated to properly assess the risk.

Profitability trend

Net Margin 7.12% −0.8pp
Gross Margin 18.85% −2.0pp
SG&A / Revenue 11.64% +0.4pp

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Is capital being used efficiently?

Capital efficiency is declining — check whether the drag is from margins or turnover.

Is capital being deployed efficiently?

ROIC fell to 9.10%, losing 8.2pp. That translates to 9.10 in after-tax operating profit for every 100 units of operating capital. Both NOPAT margin narrowed 2.3pp and capital turnover fell 0.56x, with invested capital holding roughly steady — pressure came from both operational efficiency and asset efficiency.

Both margin and turnover weakened — this is a broad-based decline, and cyclical versus structural components need to be separated.

CAPITAL EFFICIENCY TREND

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

ROIC 9.10% −8.2pp
NOPAT Margin 5.62% −2.3pp
Capital Turnover 1.62x −0.56x
Average Invested Capital 344.4bn +23.5bn

Balance Sheet

ROIC declined — the balance sheet shows how capital is being deployed. Capital structure is conservative with low leverage — liabilities at 0.84x equity, net debt at 0.13x equity.

Inventory ended the period at 146.1bn, roughly 25.3% of total assets.

Over the last 12 months, working capital released 18.1bn of cash, mainly thanks to lower receivables. Pressure from higher inventories and lower payables only partly offset that benefit.

Working Capital Drivers

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables decreased → higher CFO: +189.7bn
Inventories increased → lower CFO: −38.4bn
Payables decreased → lower CFO: −133.1bn

Working Capital Efficiency

Cash conversion cycle lengthened by 24.4 days versus the same period last year. The main moves came from DIO rose 53.6 days, DSO rose 7.8 days, and DPO rose 37.0 days.

Working capital cycle lengthened mainly due to slower inventory turnover — more capital is being tied up in inventory.

Watchpoints

Cash conversion cycle remains stretched

CCC stands at 142.2 days, suggesting that working capital remains tied up for a relatively long operating cycle.

Receivables collection is slowing

DSO increased by +7.8 days, pointing to slower receivables turnover.

Working Capital Efficiency

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Receivables 125.6 days +7.8 days
Inventory 140.2 days +53.6 days
Payables 123.6 days +37.0 days
Cash Conversion Cycle 142.2 days +24.4 days

Is financial risk significant?

Financial risk is low — leverage is safe, both CFO and FCF are positive.

Leverage & Liquidity

Leverage looks fairly comfortable, with net debt / equity at 0.13x and interest coverage at 11.95x.

At present, short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, cash equals 19.6% of debt, and total debt stands at 54.0bn.

Watchpoints

Short-term refinancing pressure is meaningful

Short-term debt accounts for 100.0% of total debt, raising near-term refinancing needs.

Cash buffer is thin relative to debt

Cash / debt stands at 19.6%, leaving limited liquidity buffer to monitor.

Leverage and liquidity trend

Net Debt / Equity 0.13x +0.13x
Interest Coverage 11.95x −16.28x
Cash / Debt 19.6% −77.6pp
Short-term Debt / Total Debt 100.0% 0.0pp
CFO / NI 1.67x −0.97x

TTM YoY · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

Cash Flow

With safe leverage noted above, cash flow below shows the self-funding capacity. Operating cash flow reached 93.9bn in 2025, against investing cash flow of -57.6bn.

Post-investment cash flow was positive +36.2bn. Financing cash flow was negative +25.6bn.

CFO / net income was 1.67x.

After spending +40.6bn on fixed-asset investment, the business generated trailing free cash flow of +25.8bn.

Cash Conversion

TTM Cash Conversion · 2025Q1 -> 2026Q1

CFO TTM 66.4bn −80.2bn
Cash Capex 40.6bn −0.9bn
FCF TTM +25.8bn −79.3bn

Investment Takeaway

The business is showing a few weaker signals, but the current magnitude is not yet clear enough to conclude that this is a broader weakening phase. The next item to monitor is the earnings mix, when non-core contribution is 21.0%. The main risk still sits in working capital is tied up too long in the operating cycle, with CCC extended to 142 days.

Watchpoint: cash flow is currently keeping pace with accounting earnings, with CFO / net income at 1.67x. Even so, net financial result still accounts for 21.0% of PBT, so the earnings mix still needs monitoring.

Key risk: working capital remains tied up for too long, with cash cycle at 142.2 days.
